i think in the wake of game of thrones season 8 being so mindbogglingly horrible, people tend to forget how stupid seasons 5-7 were as well. my favorite moment in the show still remains when cersei blew up the most revered religious building in the country with the most popular royals inside and it had zero - and i mean literally zero - consequence. not even a mildly negative reaction from the people of kingslanding. imagine if the president of italy blew up the vatican with the pope and the kardashians inside and no one batted an eye.
